Some highlights: he's scored the Bourne movies, and now he's on board to please our ears while we watch Han become Han. Or however they worded that thing that confused everyone for a couple weeks

I've never seen a Bourne film, but I have seen some of the Dreamworks movies he worked on, though it's been several years, so I can't really share my opinion on him. Perhaps others here will have something to say!

John Powell is exactly the composer I would have picked to score the Han Solo movie, so naturally I was excited when they announced he would be the one scoring the music for this movie. I am a really big fan of his How to Train Your Dragon soundtracks. Although it was his soundtrack for Pan that convinced me that he should be the one to score the Han Solo movie. I'm not a fan of the movie Pan, but its score is very good.

I can't say I find Powell's resume very impressive personally, but I do absolutely love his HTTYD score. "Test Drive" is one of my favorite tracks of all-time. For that alone Mr. Powell will always get a pass from me. Good luck, sir.

11-4D I can't recommend How to Train Your Dragon enough. Great balance of action, humor and heart. Really sneaks up on you emotionally and goes to some surprising places for a PG-rated animated film. Many people feel the sequel equals or surpasses it, but I think it's a solid notch below. There's also an animated series, but I've never watched it.

Totally agree, Juke Skywalker about How to Train Your Dragon. Both of them are among my favorite animated films-which is saying something cos I'm not really a fan of animated films. They are my 4 year old son's favorites too.

Pan's music is better than the movie so that's a plus. And X-Men: The Last Stand also had some decent musical stings that added to the drama (think of Xavier's final goodbyes). Really this scene right here is made better by the music
